Standing there, Luke has flashbacks of Laura running in that same spot and kneeling near the fountain. Lucky interrupts his thought and says he knows he's thinking this is sick. Lucky finds the bracelet within two minutes of starting his search.
Stefan tells Katherine he is not upset, just the opposite. The bench means a great deal to him. Today is his baptismal day and no one, except Alexis, ever gave him a gift. He loves this spot because it reminds him of Greece. He loved to sit overlooking the ocean. He says he loves the ocean, maybe because it's something that can't be controlled. Katherine says like a woman and asks if it reminds him of all the women he's loved. He tells her he has only loved one woman in his lifetime.
Nikolas practices reading again and although he makes some progress he still gets frustrated. Robin helps him along but he tells her no more. He gets up and goes outside where she follows him. It's freezing out there and he can tell that she's cold so they go back in. Robin tells him that he can't force things overnight and it can also be his attitude. He hasn't lost his speech, it's just blocked. She wants to know how badly he wants this.
Bobbie comments on how the baby is getting along in that house where everyone has to watch their backs. Monica thinks they could take care of him, all Bobbie has to do is get close to her daughter.

He explains his reasons for wanting to know more as trying to protect himself because he is now more involved. All she'll say is that they are close and before he knows it this will all be over. He asks if he'll be hurt and she tells him he will not be the one who gets hurt. Felicia returns and Tess congratulates her. Felicia shows her the ring.

Stefan tells Nikolas his father would meet his mother at that very spot (guess Stavros was not the daddy after all). Nikolas asks if it was really his father or Stefan. Stefan asks for what purpose and Nikolas thinks so his father wouldn't know. Stefan is angry and thinks that Helena planted these thoughts into his head. He believes Helena lives for the day when Nikolas will cast him off. Nikolas tells his Uncle he would rather have Laura for a mother than his. Stefan can't argue with that.

Lila tells Carly she's no fool and that she should not underestimate Edward, he'll want her to betray Jason. And if she does she will have her to deal with. Lila leaves and asks the same waiter to use her private home number next time, it's quicker. Carly looks confused.
Nikolas says Laura was a prisoner but Stefan asks if he ever heard Laura say she hated him; he says no.

Dara tells Taggert she won't let him have his personal vendetta against Justus. He says Justus is just using her to look legitimate. She tells him to get the hell out of there but he doesn't.

He's not like Justus, who breaks the law but does it so handsomely.
